For more historical fiction, check out our Ultimate List of Best Historical Fictionįirekeeper’s Daughter by Angeline Boulley It’s a heavy story, but very worth the read. I will say, this book made me consider my White Privilege in a way no non-fiction book could have. The narrators sucked me in and those 30 hrs flew by. It clocks in at over 800 pages or almost 30hrs of audiobook time. The second reason this book is great on audio? It’s LONG. The sacrifices, injustices, struggles, and harrasments endured by Ailey and her kin in the present day and the past are explored with a depth so real, I forgot it was a fictional story at times. Though Ailey and her ancestors, the weight of what it means to be black woman in America means. The other narrator tells the story of the female ancestors of Ailey’s going all the way back to her Indigenous, black, and white relatives from two centuries earlier. Through one narrator, we learn about Ailey’s life as an African American woman in the 20th century. This is one of the best books I’ve listened to this year, and yes, I recommend it on audio for a few reasons.įirst, the different narrators help tell this dual timeline story.
